A full smile can inspire confidence, which is why many people with tooth loss will elect for dental implants. The procedure is for people who have missing teeth for whatever reason—injury, genetics, illness, or whatever else. Unlike dentures, which are removable, dental implants are a permanent solution.
Besides confidence, there are a lot of practical reasons to look into dental implants as a solution if you have missing teeth.
- Improved Speech
Dental implant teeth are sturdy and solid; they won’t slide like dentures and they’ll allow you a full range of sounds and mouth shapes for speaking. - Improved Eating
Dentures or gaps can make it difficult to eat, especially without pain. Dental implants are much closer to your “regular” teeth so you can chew freely! - Improved Appearance
Dental implants allow much more freedom in regards to the aesthetics of your teeth. This can give you a more natural looking solution to your missing teeth. - Long-lasting smile
Dental implants are designed to last. They’ll withstand your talking, your eating, your brushing, your smiling—everything your other teeth go through! - Convenience
Avoiding impermanence of dentures, your smile will be with you all the time. You’ll never have to worry about what you can or can’t eat or do because you will always have your implants—right inside your mouth!
